If we had a best pitcher overall award..

[Kingdom]

..that covered both leagues.. here's what the candidate list would look like (in no specific order):


1) Matt Cain 28-7, 2.89 era 12CGs

2) Yu Darvish 23-10, 304 innings, 290 strikeouts

3) CC Sabathia 20-10, 277 innings, 10CGs, 275 strikeouts ..think about this, he'd be a runaway Cy Young in almost any year for any league... but he's third best in the AL, go figure

4) Rich Harden 19-6, 2.53 era, 221 k's in 220 innings

5) Max Scherzer 19-4, 1.90 era, 30 quality starts

6) Yovanni Gallardo, 17-8, 2.49 era... that's 17 wins on the worst team.. ..and no one was willing to pony up for him?


This doesn't even include the likes of Wesley Roemer (27 walks!), emergence of Jay Crew, 20 game winner Jon Asahina, Josh Beckett, Chad Billingsley, Jon Leadbetter, Eric Hurley, Erik Bedard, and Johan Santana (unfortunately he was relegated to a 7 win season despite the ERA and strikeouts)

Who says there's no pitching in this league?


My personal rankings:
Cain-Scherzer-Darvish-Sabathia-Gallardo-Harden

Yuuuuuuuuuu

and I remember when I was crazy for signing him on my shitty team.

But now you're glad you listened to me.

I absolutely would pony up everything I had for Gallardo if I was going for an all out win. But this rebuilding process (which is not working out the way I wanted it to) is preventing me from doing that.

[Kingdom]

true but, Gallardo is all of only 28 years old and makes less than 7 million

Lies! you just wanted him to stay away from the big boys. I made him strong, like Kimbo.

[Kingdom]

True. Would you want that on NYY?

And does that mean Darvish will lose to a pitcher with pink hair in round 1?

[NYgiantsfan5689]

true but, Gallardo is all of only 28 years old and makes less than 7 million

but i'd have to give up a bagillion hard earned specs

plus, i DON'T WANT to win, and he would be winning for me lol

Erik Cordier: 16-12, 3.29 ERA, 1.08 WHIP, 221.1 IP, 202 K, ONLY 30 BB wasn't bad either...

Well, the games are broadcast on youtube, so I don't think so.

[Kingdom]

He'll lose to a pudgy cop from Boston then..
